Hi Cheryl, I had recurring mastitis in the first 6 months of feeding DD I think I had it 5 times and once more since, I also had many more blocked ducts. After a blocked duct or especially after mastitis I often had pain in the breast like I was bruised deep inside, which sometimes hurt more during feeds, this pain could last up to two weeks after the original problem. Early on this meant that the breast almost always had pain deep inside. DD is now 18 months old, still feeds 3 hourly round the clock and I haven't had mastitis or the associated after pains for I don't know how long. I never really got a diagnosis for the "after pain" but it definitely did seem to be related to the blocked ducts and mastitis and passed as they did so I didn't worry about it too much. I don't know if that helps.
